Tomorrow Woman was the biggest tragedy of the Justice League
Morning, Woman’s time with the Justice League was relatively short and for a very good reason. Tomorrow Woman is an advanced android that was created by Anthony Ivo and TO Morrow to infiltrate the Justice League when they allowed new heroes to join. Ivo made his creation’s body incredibly lifelike, with synthetic organs and musculature that could fool almost anyone. But it was Morrow who created Tomorrow Woman’s mind, implanted with false memories and A heroic personality just like the members of the Justice League.
Morning Woman was not created to spy on the JLA. Rather, she was designed as a Trojan horse that would kill the DC Universe’s greatest heroes with an EMP designed to attack brain activity. Morning Woman was unaware of her true purpose, thinking of herself as just a person with strong telekinetic abilities who wanted to do good in the world. Morning Woman impressed the Justice League at her audition and was accepted into the team. Eventually, the time comes when her murderous programming activates, but Tomorrow Woman resists it, Refusing to kill her Justice League teammates.
Tomorrow you can read the tragic story of a woman JLA #5 (1997).
At the same time, the JLA is fighting a weapon from the future known as IF (the Implicate Field). Nothing short of an EMP could destroy it and with Tomorrow Woman’s programming urging her to complete her mission, Tomorrow Woman sacrificed herself, defeating the IF. The Justice League found her remains afterwards, revealing her true nature, leading them to track down and arrest both Morrow and Ivo. As for the fallen justice leaguer, she was given a hero’s burial. With Superman noting that Tomorrow Woman was more than a machine.
What Tomorrow Woman’s return means for the DC Universe
It doesn’t seem like a coincidence that Ivo is suddenly working on Tomorrow Woman just as Amanda Waller is bringing the world under her heel with her new Amazo Squad. Amazons are strong, but Tomorrow Woman is arguably the strongest Android Ivo ever created. It’s not out of the realm of possibility that he gathers what’s left of Tomorrow Woman to keep himself safe as Waller starts to establish her new world order. Of course, that Assuming that the woman of tomorrow is the same one who fought the Justice League.
Morning Woman has powerful psychic abilities that are at least on Martian Manhunter’s level.
Despite the evil programming instilled in her, the original Tomorrow Woman was a sweet and caring person dedicated to justice. The tomorrow woman seen here is much more intense, ready to call herself a villain if she can’t get what she wants. It’s hard to imagine how a brave hero like Tomorrow Woman goes from hero to villain, but it’s not such a big surprise, because Ivo’s had his claws in her. But if Morning Woman has truly gone to the dark side, which can spell danger, especially in a post-Absolute power World.
Even without the lethal EMP she was programmed with, Tomorrow Woman has powerful psychic abilities that are at least on Martian Manhunter’s level. She comes this close to killing a group of street-level archers simply by using telekinesis to drop them from a high enough point. What happens when she decides to go after other innocent people or her old team? Tomorrow Woman may have died a hero, but if it really is you, She came back as a Nightmare League level.
Tomorrow Woman makes a bad situation worse for the DCU
The heroes of the DC Universe have been dealing with one of Ivo’s worst creations. But what would make the Amazo Army even worse for the heroes who haven’t lost their powers is dealing with an android with Tomorrow Woman’s level of power. There are barely enough forces scraped together to stop Waller, there’s honestly not much they can do with a rogue Morning Woman in the mix as well. Hopefully, Team Arrow will have some way of handling the former Justice League Hero before things get too out of control.
